"content": "I support this Bill by saying that in whatever roles they play, in public or private institutions, there is an inherent obligation in what they do in so far as for example, they have to meet the national obligations on taxation and clearly understand the tax laws. I know that these are embedded in the Companies Act. I do not know whether Members of this House have seen the latest version of the Companies Act. It is about six inches high. So, if you assume that people understand that, then you will be in that category which believes that ignorance of the law is no defence. If we are talking about knowledge of the law as a defence to carry out social objectives of any country, whether these people are seated in private or public institutions… So, I support this process. I wish we would have a cadre of people who would take good care of the public resources that are entrusted to parastatals and other public institutions."
